Content Hub Settings - Alert Colors

The Alert Colors page (Settings → Alert Colors) defines the palette of colors available when creating Alerts. Each Alert is assigned one color to visually signal its urgency or category — for example, red for emergencies and yellow for cautions. Four colors ship by default (Caution, Emergency, Informational, Test); you can add custom colors, rename existing ones, or delete colors that are no longer needed.

Prerequisites

  • Account Type: System Administrator.
  • Hex color values for any custom colors you plan to add. Use your organization's brand or safety-color guidelines as the source.

Procedure

Step 1 — Open Alert Colors

In the Settings left navigation, select Alert Colors.

The Colors list opens. Each row shows a color swatch square and the color's Name. Use the Find a Color search box to filter by name, and the Sort by dropdown to change the sort order (default: Name).

Step 2 — Add a custom Alert Color

  1. Select Add new in the top-right.
  2. The Add New Color form opens. Enter a Name — this is the label Creators see when selecting a color for their Alert (e.g., Warning, High Priority).
  3. In the Color field, type the hex value (e.g., #FF6600) or select the color swatch to open the color picker. The swatch updates in real time as you type.
  4. Select Add New Color to save.

Important: Alert Color names are visible to all Creators. Use clear, consistent names that reflect your organization's alert-level conventions. Avoid generic names like "Color 1."

Step 3 — Edit an existing Alert Color

Select a color's name in the list (or hover the row and select the Edit icon) to open the Edit Color view.

Update the Name or the Color hex value, then select Update to save.

Heads up: Changing a color's hex value updates it everywhere it is displayed in active Alerts immediately. Changing the name does not affect existing Alerts — the new name applies only to new Alerts created after the rename.

Step 4 — Delete an Alert Color

Hover over a color row and select the Delete icon.

Important: Before deleting a color, confirm that no active Alerts are currently using it. Deleting a color that is in use may cause those Alerts to display without a color or fall back to a default. There is no undo.

Verification

After adding or editing a color, return to the Colors list and confirm the swatch and name appear correctly. To verify the color is available to Creators, open the Alert composer and check that the color appears in the color selection step.
